Lysander, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 195 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 195-12
Setbacks, buffer strips and screening
Operative Text
A. All mobile homes on individual lots shall be subject to the setback, side and rear yard requirements of Residential R-10 Districts as set forth in Chapter 320 , Zoning, of the Code of the Town of Lysander, except that the minimum size of a side yard may be reduced to five feet. B. All mobile home parks must provide buffer strips, setbacks and screening such as fences or make use of natural growth along the boundary property line separating the park and the adjacent uses. Suitable screening from adjacent properties is required.
Section 195-12 of Lysander's Code of Ordinances establishes physical spacing and screening standards for mobile homes and mobile home parks. Individual mobile homes on their own lots must meet the same setback and yard requirements as R-10 Residential Districts, with one exception: side yards may be as narrow as five feet. Mobile home parks, meanwhile, must install buffer strips, maintain required setbacks, and provide screening—such as fences or natural vegetation—along any boundary line where the park meets adjacent properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile home properties in Lysander should ensure that individual lots comply with the R-10 District setback and yard dimensions referenced in Chapter 320 of the Town Code, keeping in mind that § 195-12 permits side yards to be reduced to a minimum of five feet. For mobile home park operators, the ordinance requires that boundary lines shared with neighboring uses be treated with buffer strips, proper setbacks, and suitable screening such as fencing or landscaping. Documenting the type and placement of screening materials along park perimeters is a common practice for demonstrating compliance with the 'suitable screening' standard in § 195-12.
